Beeswax wraps

Alyson from Kohimarama

If you have followed my recent postings you will see there is to be a delivery ( last one this year) of Raw Manuka and raw Macadamia honey on Thursday in Kohimarama. Search back to find prices and info or pm me if you are interested.

But here’s another Christmas gift idea which I’ll be bringing on Thursday. The Beekeeper’s wife is now making these lovely beeswax wraps.

These are an original gift especially good to send overseas (they’re light!) or give to friends or family.

They are made for people who want to reduce waste in the kitchen in an original way. Instead of peeling off gladwrap or other plastic sealers, you can mould these wraps with your hands to seal off and store cheeses, open fruit or veggies, sandwiches, school lunches. These wraps are eco-friendly, reusable and long lasting. I’ll be bringing some to the honey delivery so pm any orders now or come and see what they look like. The prints are attractive Kiwiana prints of 100% cotton. Wash in cold water and reuse for up to a year... when they can be rewarded. Minimise waste!

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Original Art on Baseball Caps / Hats

Connie from Remuera

UPDATE 29.4 The Wisteria & Butterfly Cap is sold.

Hello everyone,

I am presenting a limited release of hand-painted artwork on Baseball Caps. There will only be 29 caps in this range. For now, please do have a look at the first seven Caps attached. I will post more in the future as I work on them.

Price per piece = $55.00.
Fabric look/feel is suede-like (not real suede). It is a really nice quality cap. You can zoom out each photo to view better.
Adjustable backstrap with metal clasp.
NOTE: Some Caps have more than one photo to give you views from different sides (I can send you more photos if required).

Mother's Day is just two weeks away. This would make a really memorable yet practical gift for that special person. OR...get it for yourself! Just know that when you are wearing it to brunch, on your walks or at tennis/golf, YOU are the only person in the world with this original piece of wearable art ☺️.

Pickup in Remuera or happy to courier:
P&p $16.00 (with signature)
Rural addresses +$5.50.
If you want it sent overseas, I am happy to quote.

For the remaining Caps that I will be painting, if you have any suggestions that you would like to see, or if you would like to order a cap with a particular bird/flower et , I am happy to consider. No portraits please! That would be too hard on fabric 😅.

Have a lovely weekend,
Connie.
PS. I apologise for the low photo resolution as I had to resize them down to be able to post.
